My acrylic painting "Tea with Hydrangeas and Coleus" (24"x30") has been chosen to be included in the City of Newton's FenceArt exhibition, a rotating public art project where artists' work is made into large banners and displayed on fences throughout the City, traveling to various city locations for an entire year.

"I enjoy the challenge of expressing my emotional response to arrangements of everyday objects or to the natural world, creating a balanced design using bold color, expressive line, flattened perspective, decorative pattern, and layout that is expressive and exuberant - and not necessarily realistic. I use white space to create sparkle and movement."

Artist's Statement

I am a fine artist living and working in the Boston area. I focus on acrylic painting, mixed media collage, and small watercolors. My style is bold, colorful, and expressive.

I grew up in the beautiful seaside town of Marblehead, Mass., north of Boston, drinking in the ocean breezes and the bright, sparkling colors of nature. Sunlight-bright colors and the rhythms of the sea infuse my work to this day. I've had the impulse to draw and paint from earliest memory.

Discovering a love of the Fauves and other early-20th century artists, followed by heavy involvement with silkscreen printmaking, I began my experimentation with using strong color, sinuous line, and flattened perspective and surface treatment. In my recent mixed media collages, I have added a new dimension - texture - to the sensory experience of the works.

I have worked as an assistant to the textile designer "Katja of Sweden" (Katja Geiger - high-end printed apparel and linens) and as a textile designer for several women's sportswear manufacturers.

I work primarily with acrylic paint, mixed-media collage, and watercolor. These media lend themselves to the application of an array of different textures and techniques. My major subjects are
still life, land- and seascapes, the human form, and recently abstracts.

I think of the objects I have collected to populate my still lifes as characters or models, and I try to bring life to their stillness. I enjoy the challenge of expressing my emotional response to arrangements of everyday objects or to the natural world, creating a balanced design using bold color, expressive line, flattened perspective, decorative pattern, and layout that is expressive and exuberant - and not necessarily realistic. I use white space to create sparkle and movement.

My recent mixed-media collages have taken me in a new direction, freeing me from "the object" and allowing me to explore the freedom of abstraction.
